Study on Three-Way Pipe’s Internal High Pressure Forming Simulation

Internal high pressure forming is a kind of the modern plastic processing technology. Using liquid as the pressure transmitting medium, explore the effect of internal high pressure parameter on the three passing pipe technique, internal high pressure forming technique is applied on the three-dimensional shape parts deformation. In this study, we simulate the three-way pipe process by finite element software, analyze the forming force influence to the tube forming quality and get the changeable regulation of the pipe wall thickness with conclusion of the wall thickness variation, which provides the reference data and guidance for the actual production of the three-way pipe.
